Hoover School Arrival and Drop-off
Please carefully read the following procedures and review them with your children. These
procedures are intended to keep all of our students safe while arriving at and departing from
school.
Teachers open the two courtyard doors, adjacent to the circle, at 8:05 a.m. allowing students to
enter school and go directly to their classrooms. The bell, signaling the start of school rings
promptly at 8:15 a.m. Students arriving after the bell must enter the school through main doors
and report to the office.
All families are highly encouraged to walk to school. The vehicle traffic can be very
heavy.
